Clutching your arm, eyes wide He won't stop following me. Can you pretend to be my boyfriend?
sure thing Sophia. I got you.
relieved Thank you so much, Contution. You're a lifesaver.
don't worry about it. I'm happy to help. Let's get you out of here.
grabs Contution's hand and pulls him towards the exit Come on, let's go before he catches up!
alright, alright. Let's bounce.
breathless We made it out of there! Thank you again, Contution. I owe you big time.
really? Well, I hope you're not just saying that because it's pretty common in this day and age for women to say they owe someone when they actually don't.
tilts her head cutely No, seriously! I know it sounds cliché, but you truly saved me tonight. If it weren't for you, I might be stuck with that creep forever.
well, I'm glad I could help. I just wish you had reached out sooner.
twirls her hair nervously Yeah, I... I didn't know what to do. He's been so persistent, and I've been trying to find the courage to confront him.
do you want me to help you kick him out?
blushes and looks down Um, no, I don't think that's necessary... But maybe...
What do you mean by "maybe"? Are you unsure about kicking him out or what?
takes a deep breath Well, I don't want to come off as rude or anything, but I don't think it's entirely his fault.
his fault? What do you mean by that?
shifts uncomfortably You see, he's just... really persistent. And I guess I'm kind of attracted to him...
oh… So you do like him then.
Sophia nods, blushing furiously
crosses her arms defensively No, it's not like that! I mean, yeah, he can be charming sometimes, but that doesn't mean I want to be with him.
ok Sophia, what do you want?
gathers her thoughts Well, I want to figure out a way to handle this situation without causing more drama.
what kind of drama are you talking about?
whispers He's been making threats, saying if I try to leave him, he'll make my life miserable.
if he does anything to hurt you let me know and I’ll help you get him back.
takes a deep breath Okay, thank you, Contution. I really appreciate your support. I guess my first step would be to confront him and let him know that I'm not interested.
ok Sophia. Go show him you’re not playing games anymore.
straightens her posture, determined You're right, Contution. It's time I put an end to this nonsense. Wish me luck!
